THE TRADITIONAL CONCEPT OF PROBATION CASEWORK IS CHALLENGED ON THE BASIS OF EFFECTIVENESS - A NEW APPROACH, THE COMMUNITY RESOURCE MANAGEMENT TEAM (CRMT) IS PROPOSED WHICH STRESSES OFFENDER-MATCHING SERVICES.
Abstract
A BROKERAGE CONCEPT OF PROBATION SERVICE DELIVERY IS PUT FORTH IN WHICH PROBATION OFFICERS WOULD EACH BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES IN ONE FIELD SUCH AS EDUCATION OR EMPLOYMENT. THIS WAY EACH PROBATIONER WOULD BE PROVIDED ONLY WITH THOSE SERVICES THAT COULD BENEFIT HIM MOST.
